- Thanks to STUIFZAND for the patch.
1.48 2010-04-23

1.47 2009-12-08

- http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=52334
1.46 2009-10-08
- Updated the E-mail address of Adam Trickett.
- Removed the perl-5.6.x-specific workarounds and made perl-5.8.x as
a requirement. This was done in order to:
- avoid a workaround that also caused an incomplete test coverage.
- avoid various test failures due to a problem with XML-Parser
on 5.6.x .
- encourage people using ancient versions of perl in production.
- Convert all occurences of "new XML::RSS" to "XML::RSS->new()" everywhere.
- a best practice.
1.45 2009-08-05
- Removed some unused module requirements statements from lib/**.pm.
- Added a note about date parsing/generation (thanks to an email
correspondent).
- Applied a patch by "David White" to have uppercase letter in
namespace/module identifiers.
- https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=48405
- Added "resources" and "keywords" to the Build.PL.
1.44 2009-04-01
- Applied a patch from Simon Wistow (after some modifications) to
add support for multiple enclosures.
- Added the t/xml-base.t test file from Simon Wistow to test for
xml:base. Corrected for style.
1.43 2009-01-12
- Fixed the date on the last entry on this changelog, to say "2009"
instead of "2008".
- http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=42304
1.42 2009-01-03
- When transforming elements with attributes into hash-refs - make
sure they are placed in the correct namespace. Previously
<media:description> over-rided the plain <description>. (as in Flickr).
1.41 2008-12-04
- Made the default keys for the channel link, description and title undef
instead of ''. They become '' once they are opened.
- http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=40686
- Now keeping track of rdf:resource of <image> in RSS 1.0:
- http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=3978
- Made sure that channel/{link,description,title} are localized to
the empty string before rendering, to allow for better backwards
compatibility.
- http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=40686
1.40 2008-12-01
- Now outputting an arrayref of <skipDays>/<day>'s and <skipHours>/<hours>
properly.
- http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=40978
- Now parsing multiple <category>'ies inside an <item> into an
array-reference.
- http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=38296
- Now outputting an arayref of <item>/<category> prpoerly.
- http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=38296
- Parsing multiple <channel>/<category> into arrays.
- http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=9729
- Rendering multiple <channel>/<category> elements from array refs.
- http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=9729
- Now parsing multiple dc:items into an array
reference (at least inside an <item>):
- http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=6000
- Added the modules_as_arrays option to parse repeatable module elements
into an array ref.
1.38 2008-11-27
- Added support for duplicate items of RSS modules.
- http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=4495
- Added support for multiple Dublin Core elements. One can point
the field to an array and it will create multiple elements:
- http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=6000
- Now parsing several <skipDays>/<day>s and <skipHours>/<hour>s into
an array reference instead of concatenating them together.
- http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=40978
1.37 2008-11-18
- Extracted the common parts of parse() and parsefile() into one
method (Refactoring - Shlomi Fish)
- Incorporated a modified version of a patch from Simon Wistow to
add support for the "xml:base" attribute.
- Renamed t/items-are-0.t into the more descriptive
t/test-generated-items.t , to highlight its significance and make
it easier to notice.
- Enabled backwards-compatibility mode for the "description" item
to not become a hash-ref by default if xml:base is specified.
1.36 2008-10-07
- ->parse() now explicitly returns $self.
- http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=34914
- ->parsefile() now explicitly returns $self.
- http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=34914

to rssboard.org:
- http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=39780
- Reformatted the Changes file to standardize on 4-space-indents.
- Small documentation patch: (add_item with dc:date)
- http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=39780
1.35 2008-09-13
- Added a Module::Build-based Build.PL so we'll have an easier time
with the META.yml and the Kwalitee.
- Kwalitee - added "use warnings" to all Perl files.
- now depending on at least perl-5.6.0.
- Kwalitee - fixed the "use" statement of
"Test::Run::CmdLine::Iface" to a runtime require.
1.34 2008-09-12
- fixed a typo in the documentation of lib/XML/RSS.pm -
"regardless" instead of "regarless".
- http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=37916
- (Reported by Reuben Thomas, Fixed by Shlomif).
- fixed a code fragment - pop() instead of shift() for older
items, and while() instead of if():
- http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=39231
- (Reported by Dave, Fixed by Shlomif).
1.33 2008-06-08
- Allowed the end-user to customise the _encode() routine in
XML::RSS::Private::Output::Base from XML::RSS using the
encode_cb key.
1.32 2008-02-08
- Fixed http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=25336 :
- made sure the namespace specified elements can have a hash
as a value in which case they'll be outputted as a standalone tag
with attributes.
- Fixed http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=25368 :
- changed pop() to shift() to remove the oldest item in the
example in lib/XML/RSS.pm, per the comments in the bug report.
- Fixed http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=24329#txn-296761 :
- updated the URLs for information about RSS mentioned under
"=head1 DESCRIPTION", based on a Google search.
- (Shlomi Fish)
- Fixed http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=33001 :
- made sure that isPermalink is true if and only if the isPermalink
attribute is "true". Not if it is non-existent, etc.
- this modified the behaviour of the module.
1.31 2007-06-29
- Fixed the save() function to handle perl-5.6.x (and possibly below)
where the ":encoding(...)" filehandle are not available (Shlomi Fish)

because there was a range (.-_) instead of three individual
characters (.\-_).

that were executable but need not be. Made them non-executable.
- Clean up examples/ directory and move generated files out of t/
- isPerCould not parse Line '1.04 - Web Mar 03 20:49:43 2004' at /home/shlomif/bin/upgrade-to-CPAN-Changes line 40, <STDIN> line 271.
